Extend functionality of existing LaTeX reader

Hi everyone,
 I have been using pandoc, learning about the AST and writing basic Lua 
filters (Mostly for LaTeX).
While it has been a learning experience for me I have started to wonder 
"Can we write a custom reader to extend the functionality of the existing 
reader?
and If such a mechanism already exists then how to go about it?"

I understand that the default LaTeX reader is good enough for most 
conversions, But there are many custom commands and environments that the 
pandoc LaTeX reader skips(or treats as Div) in AST.

I have also explored the latex+raw_tex input format where I could write 
some Lua filters but this format is overkill, considering I want to add 
support for only a few commands/environments and want the default reader to 
handle the rest.

Thanks in advance,
Abhishek U.
